'Those kids were miserable!' The O.C. star blasts cast of teen drama

HIGH SCHOOL NEVER ENDS: Cam is still holding grudges against his teen drama co-stars [WENN]

Cam Gigandet, who played bad boy Kevin Volchok, has re-stoked high school rivalries by blasting Ben McKenzie, Mischa Barton, and basically everybody else in the cast.

The 31-year-old got his big break in The O.C., the drama which followed a tearaway teen who gets adopted into a rich family in California.

But despite gaining fame from the hit series after joining in the third season, Cam doesn't have many fond memories from the set.

When asked by Elle magazine whether he kept in touch with any of the cast, the actor said: "No. Actually Ben McKenzie was kind of mean to me. I hadn't done anything at that point and he was a little bit of an a**."

However, he hurriedly added: "But I love him. I think he's a great actor and I love Southland."

Due to the rivalry between Cam's character Kevin and Ben's Ryan Atwood, we're not too surprised of the underlying grudge between these two hunks.

But the relationship between Cam and his on-screen love interest Mischa Barton, who played troubled socialite Marissa Cooper, is a bit more tense – with the dad-of-two pretending he doesn't even remember her.

Cam joked: "Mischa? I didn't really ... Was she there? I don't even have memories of her."

And if Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody, aka Summer and Seth, thought they were getting away scot-free, they had another thing coming.
